Frozen Pizza Sold At Walmart, Aldi Recalled: What You Need To Know In IL

Multiple brands of frozen pizza sold at Walmart and Aldi across the country, including in Illinois, have been recalled due to possible salmonella contamination.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service issued a recall April 30 for meat and poultry products whose dairy ingredients may be contaminated with salmonella.

The FSIS updated its recall May 1, expanding it to include eight products, including three pizzas manufactured for Great Value, Walmart's in-house label, and two Mama Cozzi's pizzas, which are sold exclusively at Aldi.

"The problem was discovered when FDA notified FSIS that multiple FSIS-regulated establishments received FDA-regulated ingredients formulated with dry milk powder that had been recalled," the government agency wrote in a news release.

So far, these are the identified products that have been affected:

"FSIS expects additional downstream products will be identified as this ingredient recall progresses," officials said.

There have been no confirmed reports of illness connected with the products to date, according to the FSIS.

Salmonella is an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy people infected with salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain.

Symptoms usually start between six hours and six days after swallowing the bacteria. Most people recover within a week without medical treatment, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

A creme brulee dessert manufactured exclusively for Aldi is also the subject of another recall, Patch reported. The manufacturer said that nearly 2,900 cases of the dessert may have contained "foreign objects," specifically glass.
